that harms living things, and leaves them disabled. (The most common
effect of mutation on human beings is cancer.) Of course, a destructive
mechanism cannot be an "evolutionary mechanism." Natural selection, on
the other hand, "can do nothing by itself," as Darwin also accepted. This fact
shows us that there is no "evolutionary mechanism" in nature. Since no
evolutionary mechanism exists, no such any imaginary process called "evo-
lution" could have taken place.

The Fossil Record: No Sign of Intermediate Forms
The clearest evidence that the scenario suggested by the theory of evo-
lution did not take place is the fossil record.
According to the unscientific supposition of this theory, every living
species has sprung from a predecessor. A previously existing species turned
into something else over time and all species have come into being in this
way. In other words, this transformation proceeds gradually over millions
of years.
Had this been the case, numerous intermediary species should have
existed and lived within this long transformation period.
For instance, some half-fish/half-reptiles should have lived in the past
which had acquired some reptilian traits in addition to the fish traits they
already had. Or there should have existed some reptile-birds, which
acquired some bird traits in addition to the reptilian traits they already had.
Since these would be in a transitional phase, they should be disabled, defec-
tive, crippled living beings. Evolutionists refer to these imaginary creatures,
which they believe to have lived in the past, as "transitional forms."
If such animals ever really existed, there should be millions and
even billions of them in number and variety. More importantly, the
remains of these strange creatures should be present in the fossil record.
In The Origin of Species, Darwin explained:
If my theory be true, numberless intermediate varieties, linking most closely
all of the species of the same group together must assuredly have existed...
Consequently, evidence of their former existence could be found only
amongst fossil remains. 72
However, Darwin was well aware that no fossils of these intermedi-
ate forms had yet been found. He regarded this as a major difficulty for his
theory. In one chapter of his book titled "Difficulties on Theory," he wrote:
Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine grada-
